This application also relates to salts of the compounds of general Formula I and compositions comprising compounds of general Formula I or salts thereof. The compounds of general Formula I and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts are useful for treating diseases or disorders mediated by one or more tyrosine kinases such as, for example, FAK (focal adhesion kinase) and JAK (Janus kinase).

BACKGROUND

Receptor protein tyrosine kinases (RPTKs) are enzymes which span the cell membrane and possess an extracellular ligand binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a cytoplasmic (intracellular) tyrosine kinase domain (catalytic domain). The intracellular portion participates in cellular signal transduction by phosphorylating specific tyrosine residues in RPTK substrate proteins which in turn triggers other transduction events (signal propagation). As a result, tyrosine kinases influence a number of aspects of cellular responses, such as proliferation, growth, differentiation, migration, metabolism and programmed cell death (apoptosis). It has been shown that many of these tyrosine kinases are frequently mutated and/or aberrantly expressed in a number of human disease states such as, for example, breast cancer, gastrointestinal cancers (colon, rectal, and/or stomach cancers), leukemia, ovarian cancer, and pancreatic cancer.

Some examples of RPTKs that mediate various cellular responses associated with hyperproliferative disease states include c-erbB-2, c-met, tie-2, PDGRr, FGFr, and EGFR. As such, compounds that selectively inhibit or modulate the activity of one or more tyrosine kinases could provide significant therapeutic benefit in a variety of hyperproliferative disease states or disorders in mammals.

FAK (focal adhesion kinase) and JAK (Janus kinase), lck, src, abl or serine/threonine (e.g., cyclin dependent kinases) are examples of non-receptor (cytoplasmic) protein tyrosine kinases (NRPTKs). Initially, NRPTKs were identified in the context of cell growth and differentiation but subsequently the constitutive activation or abherrent expression of NRPTKs has been found to be associated with disease states characterized by abnormal cell growth, in particular cancer, in mammals.

The Janus kinase family (JAKs) consists of 4 members: JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 and TYK2. This family of kinases signal downstream from cytokine and some growth factor receptors. For example, the STAT (signal transduction and transcription) family of transcription factors is the principal, but not exclusive, target for JAKs. Constitutive JAK/STAT signaling is thought to play a critical role in oncogenesis and the progression of many different types of tumors by promoting multiple mechanisms of tumor pathogenesis, including cell proliferation, anti-apoptotic signaling, angiogenesis and tumor immune evasion (Yu et al. 2004). Moreover, constitutively activated JAK/STAT signaling is found in many tumor types, but not in normal tissues (Yu et al. 2004; Benekli et al. 2003). The ability of the JAK/STAT pathway to mediate resistance to apoptosis is particularly important, as most anti-cancer drugs affect tumors by inducing apoptosis.

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is an evolutionarily conserved non-receptor tyrosine kinase localized at focal adhesions, sites of cellular contact with the ECM (extra-cellular matrix) that functions as a critical transducer of signaling from integrin receptors and multiple receptor tyrosine kinases, including EGF-R, HER2, IGF-R1, PDGF-R and VEGF-R2 and TIE-2 (Parsons, 2003; Han and McGonigal, 2007). The integrin-activated FAK forms a binary complex with Src which can phosphorylate other substrates and trigger multiple signaling pathways. Given the central role of FAK binding and phosphorylation in mediating signal transduction with multiple SH2- and SH3-domain effector proteins (Mitra et al. 2005), activated FAK plays a central role in mediating cell adhesion, migration, morphogenesis, proliferation and survival in normal and malignant cells (Mitra et al. 2005; McClean et al. 2005; and Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007). In tumors, FAK activation mediates anchorage-independent cell survival, one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. Moreover, FAK over expression and activation appear to be associated with an enhanced invasive and metastatic phenotype and tumor angiogenesis in these malignancies (Owens et al, 1995, 1996; Tremblay et al, 1996; Kornberg et al, 1998; Mc Clean et al 2005; Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007) and correlated with poor prognosis and shorter metastasis-free survival.

As used herein, “treating”, “treated”, and “treatment”, whether used alone or in conjunction with another term or terms, include preventative (e.g., prophylactic), ameliorative, palliative, and curative uses and results, or any combination thereof. It should be understood that the terms “preventing” and “preventative” and “prophylactic” are not absolute but rather refer to uses and results where the administration of a compound or composition diminishes the likelihood or seriousness of a condition, symptom, or disease state, and/or delays the onset of a condition, symptom, or disease state for a period of time.

As used herein, a “therapeutically active agent”, whether used alone or in conjunction with another term or terms, refers to any compound, i.e. a drug, that has been found to be useful in the treatment of a disease or disorder and is not described by Formula I.

The compounds (including final products and intermediates) described herein may be isolated and used per se or may be isolated in the form of a salt. It should be understood that the terms “salt(s)” and “salt form(s)” used by themselves or in conjunction with another term or terms encompasses all inorganic and organic salts, including industrially acceptable salts, as defined herein, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as defined herein, unless otherwise specified. As used herein, industrially acceptable salts are salts that are generally suitable for manufacturing and/or processing (including purification) as well as for shipping and storage, but may not be salts that are typically administered for clinical or therapeutic use. Industrially acceptable salts may be prepared on a laboratory scale, i.e. multi-gram or smaller, or on a larger scale, i.e. up to and including a kilogram or more. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts, as used herein, are salts that are generally chemically and/or physically compatible with the other ingredients comprising a formulation, and/or are generally physiologically compatible with the recipient thereof. Pharmaceutically acceptable salts may be prepared on a laboratory scale, i.e. multi-gram or smaller, or on a larger scale, i.e. up to and including a kilogram or more. It should be understood that pharmaceutically acceptable salts are not limited to salts that are typically administered or approved (by a regulatory authority such as FDA) for clinical or therapeutic use in humans. A practitioner of ordinary skill will readily appreciate that some salts are both industrially acceptable as well as pharmaceutically acceptable salts. It should be understood that all such salts, including mixed salt forms, are within the scope of the application.

In general, salts of the present application can be prepared in situ during the isolation and/or purification of a compound (including intermediates), or by separately reacting the compound (or intermediate) with a suitable organic or inorganic acid or base (as appropriate) and isolating the salt thus formed. The degree of ionisation in the salt may vary from completely ionised to almost non-ionised. In practice, the various salts may be precipitated (with or without the addition of one or more co-solvents and/or anti-solvents) and collected by filtration or the salts may be recovered by evaporation of solvent(s). Salts of the present application may also be formed via a “salt switch” or ion exchange/double displacement reaction, i.e. reaction in which one ion is replaced (wholly or in part) with another ion having the same charge. One skilled in the art will appreciate that the salts may be prepared and/or isolated using a single method or a combination of methods.

Representative salts include, but are not limited to, acetate, aspartate, benzoate, besylate, bicarbonate/carbonate, bisulphate/sulphate, borate, camsylate, citrate, edisylate, esylate, formate, fumarate, gluceptate, gluconate, glucuronate, hexafluorophosphate, hibenzate, hydrochloride/chloride, hydrobromide/bromide, hydroiodide/iodide, isethionate, lactate, malate, maleate, malonate, mesylate, methylsulphate, naphthylate, 2-napsylate, nicotinate, nitrate, orotate, oxalate, palmitate, pamoate, phosphate/hydrogen phosphate/dihydrogen phosphate, saccharate, stearate, succinate, tartrate, tosylate, trifluoroacetate and the like. Other examples of representative salts include alkali or alkaline earth metal cations such as sodium, lithium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and the like, as well as non-toxic ammonium, quaternary ammonium and amine cations including, but not limited to, ammonium, tetramethylammonium, tetraethylammonium, lysine, arginine, benzathine, choline, tromethamine, diolamine, glycine, meglumine, olamine and the like.

Certain compounds of Formula I may have two or more asymmetric centers and therefore can exist in a number of stereoisomeric configurations. Consequently, such compounds can be synthesized and/or isolated as mixtures of enantiomers and/or as individual (pure) enantiomers, as well as diastereomers and mixtures of different diastereomers. It should be understood that the present application includes all such enantiomers and diastereomers and mixtures thereof in all ratios.

In practice, resolution and isolation of pure enantiomers can be achieved using methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic esterification; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, the specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by using an optically active starting material, by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one stereoisomer into the other by asymmetric transformation or inversion.

For those compounds of the general Formula I that contain one or more additional stereogenic centers, those skilled in the art will appreciate that all diastereoisomers and diastereoisomeric mixtures of the compounds illustrated and discussed herein are within the scope of the present application. Compounds of Formula I that exist as diastereoisomers may be isolated by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography. Alternatively, intermediates in the course of a synthesis that exist as racemic mixtures may be subjected to resolution by methods known to those skilled in the art, for example by formation of diastereoisomeric salts which may be separated, for example, by crystallization; formation of diastereoisomeric derivatives or complexes which may be separated, for example, by crystallization, gas-liquid or liquid chromatography; selective reaction of one enantiomer with an enantiomer-specific reagent, for example enzymatic esterification; or gas-liquid or liquid chromatography in a chiral environment, for example on a chiral support with a bound chiral ligand or in the presence of a chiral solvent. It will be appreciated that where the desired stereoisomer is converted into another chemical entity by one of the separation procedures described above, a further step is required to liberate the desired enantiomeric form. Alternatively, specific stereoisomers may be synthesized by asymmetric synthesis using optically active reagents, substrates, catalysts or solvents, or by converting one stereoisomer into the other by asymmetric transformation or inversion.

It should be understood that reference to “compounds of Formula I”, “compounds of the general Formula I” or simply “compounds”, whether used by themselves or in combination with another term or terms, encompasses all stereoisomers, i.e. cis and trans isomers, as well as optical isomers, i.e. R and S enantiomers, of such compounds and all salts thereof, in substantially pure form and/or any mixtures of the foregoing isomers in any ratio. This understanding extends to pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treatment that employ or comprise one or more compounds of the general Formula I, either by themselves or in combination with additional agents. It should be further understood that any reference to compounds of Formula I includes compounds described by Formula I as well as Formula Ia through Formula Ie, and Formulae II through V, inclusive.

Compounds of the application may be administered as prodrugs. The term “prodrug” refers to a compound that is transformed in vivo to yield a compound of Formula I. The in vivo transformation may occur by various mechanisms, such as hydrolysis, in the blood or other biological fluids.

A prodrug of a compound of Formula I may be formed in a conventional manner with one or more functional groups in the compound, such as an amino, hydroxyl or carboxyl group. For example, if a compound of Formula I contains a carboxylic acid functional group, a prodrug can comprise: (1) an ester formed by the replacement of a hydrogen of the acid group with a group such as (C₁-C₆)alkyl or (C₆-C₁₀) aryl; (2) an activated ester formed by the replacement of the hydrogen of the acid group with groups such as

—(CR₂)COOR′, where CR₂ is a spacer and R can be groups such as H or methyl and R′ can be groups such as (C₁-C₆)alkyl or (C₆-C₁₀) aryl; and/or (3) a carbonate formed by the replacement of the hydrogen of the acid with groups such as CHROCOOR′ where R can be groups such as H or methyl and R′ can be groups such as (C₁-C₆)alkyl or (C₆-C₁₀)aryl. Similarly, if a compound of Formula I contains an alcohol functional group, a prodrug can be formed via the replacement of the hydrogen of the alcohol with groups such as (C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxymethyl or (C₁-C₆)alkanoyloxyaryl or by forming an ester via condensation with, for example, an amino acid. Where a compound of Formula I contains a primary or secondary amino group, a prodrug may comprise, for example, an amide formed by the replacement of one or both of the hydrogens of the amino group with (C₁-C₁₀)alkanoyl or (C₆-C₁₀)aroyl. Other prodrugs of amines are well known to those skilled in the art. Alternatively, certain compounds of Formula I may themselves act as prodrugs of other compounds of Formula I.

Discussions regarding prodrugs and their the use can be found in, for example, “Prodrugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” T. Higuchi and W. Stella, Vol. 14 of the ACS Symposium Series, and Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, Pergamon Press, 1987 (ed. E B Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association). Further examples of replacement groups may be found in the aforementioned references.

Accordingly, these specific embodiments and compounds should not be interpreted as limiting the scope of the disclosure in any way.

General Synthesis

As shown in Scheme 1, various compounds of Formula I may be prepared by introducing the corresponding substituent, where LG denotes a leaving group such as halogen or triflate (—O—SO₂—CF₃) to the appropriately substituted amine, IN-1-1, or the appropriately substituted heterocycle, IN-1-2, in a Buchwald-type cross coupling reaction. The coupling reaction may be carried out under a variety of conditions well known in the art, such as, for example using palladium acetate (Pd(OAc)₂) in the presence of 2,2′-Bis(dicyclohexylphosphino)-1,1′-biphenyl or 4,5-Bis(diphenylphosphino)-9,9-dimethylxanthene and a base such as, for example, sodium carbonate, sodium tert-butoxide, cesium carbonate, potassium phosphate, in an appropriate solvent or mixture of solvents, such as, for example, dimethylformamide (DMF), toluene, and dioxane. The reaction proceeds for a suitable period of time, such as between 8 to 48 hours, at an appropriate temperature, such as, for example, between about 50° C. to about 180° C. Variations of cross coupling reactions are also well-known in the art and may be applied and/or adapted to the procedures described herein as necessary.

Various compounds of Formula I may also be prepared via nucleophilic displacement.

As shown in Scheme 1A, an appropriately functionalized intermediate, IN-1-2, where LG denotes a halogen such as chlorine, may be reacted with a desired amine, where R^(1A) and R^(1B) are not aryl or heteroaryl. In practice the desired amine may be used as a solvent for the reaction. This reaction typically proceeds at elevated temperatures (thermal or microwave) such as, for example, between 80° and 200° C. for a suitable period of time, such as, for example, between about 1 hour to about 4 hours. Displacement reactions are well known in the art and alternative conditions and/or starting materials may be readily applied to afford a variety of compounds of Formula I.

Another alternative preparation is shown in Scheme 1B.

As shown above, treatment of an appropriately substituted N-hydroxyguanidine intermediate, IN-1B-1, where either R^(1A) or R^(1B) is aryl, with phosgene in the presence of an inorganic base such as, for example, potassium carbonate, yields various compounds of Formula I. Typically, the phosgene is diluted in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as, for example, acetonitrile (ACN) and toluene, and added dropwise to the reaction mixture at low temperatures, such as for example, between −10° to 0° C. The reaction is allowed to gradually warm to ambient temperature and stir for a suitable period of time, such as, for example, between 24 to 48 hours. This transformation is well known in the art and alternative conditions and/or starting materials may be readily applied to provide a variety of compounds of Formula I. See for example, Org. Proc. Res. Dev., 2006, 10(6), 1167-1171.

Suzuki-type cross coupling reactions may also be used to prepare various compounds of Formula I.

As shown in Scheme 1C, various substituents, such as R² and R⁵, may be introduced to the appropriate heterocyclic intermediate, IN-1C-1 and IN-1C-2, where LG denotes a halogen or triflate, via a suitable boron reagent such as an arylboronic acid or ester. Also, various substituents, such as R² and R⁵, may be introduced to the appropriate heterocyclic intermediate, IN-1C-1 and IN-1C-2, where LG denotes a boronic acid or boronic ester, via a suitable reagent such as an aryl halide or aryl triflate. Typically, the reaction proceeds in the presence of a palladium catalyst, such as, for example, tetrakis(triphenylphosphine)palladium (Pd(PPh₃)₄), and a base such as triethyl amine (TEA), sodium carbonate and cesium carbonate, in a solvent or mixture of solvents such as dioxane, DMF, tetrahydrofuran (THF) and water. The reaction proceeds for a suitable period of time, such as between 8 to 48 hours, at an appropriate temperature, such as, for example, between about 50° C. to about 180° C. Alternative cross coupling conditions, reagents, and starting materials are well-known in the art and may be readily applied to affect the transformation described herein.

Alternatively, for compounds where LG is a halogen such as bromine and the R⁵ substituent is, for example, ‘O’ linked, introduction of the substituent may be accomplished using copper sulphate (CuSO₄) and a strong base such as potassium hydroxide (KOH) in a high boiling solvent such as 1,2-dimethoxyethane (DME). Similar transformations are known in the art. See, for example, Bioorg. Med. Chem. Lett., 12 (2002), 185-187.

Various intermediates of the general formulae IN-1-1 may be prepared as shown in Scheme 2.

As shown above, various intermediates of the general formula IN-1-1 may be prepared via cyclization of the corresponding thiourea IN-2-1. Typically, for compounds where, for example, X is carbon and/or R⁴ and R³ are substituents such as, for example, halogen, or haloalkyl, treatment of IN-2-1 with hydroxyl amine and an amine base such as diisopropyl ethyl amine (DIEA) or DMAP in a protic solvent or mixture of solvents, such as, for example methanol (MeOH), and ethanol (EtOH) yields the desired cyclized product. The reaction proceeds at a suitable temperature, such as for example ambient temperature to about 60° C., for an appropriate period of time, such as, for example, between about 2 to about 8 hours. This transformation is well known in the art and alternative conditions and/or starting materials may be readily applied to provide a variety of intermediates of the general formula IN-1-1. See for example, Synthesis, 2003, 11, 1649-1652.

Various intermediates of the general formula IN-1A-1 may be prepared as shown in Scheme 2A.

As shown above, various intermediates of the general formula IN-1A-1 where Hal denotes a halogen, such as, for example, chlorine may be prepared from the corresponding amino derivative, IN-2A-1. Treatment of the appropriate amine, IN-2A-1, with sodium nitrite in the presence of a catalytic amount of a copper (II) halide such as CuCl₂ affords the desired halogenated product IN-1A-1. Typically, this transformation is conducted at low temperatures such as between 0° C. to about ambient temperature, in a solution of the corresponding mineral acid, i.e. HCl. Halogenation reactions are well known in the art and alternative conditions and/or starting materials may be readily applied to provide a variety of intermediates of the general formula IN-1A-1.

Alternatively, various intermediates of the general formula IN-1A-1 may be prepared as shown in Scheme 2B.

As shown above, an appropriately substituted dihalo derivative, IN-2B-1 or IN-2B-2, where Hal and Hal² are different halogen atoms, may undergo a Buchwald-type cross coupling reaction with the appropriate substituent, such as for example, R⁵ or R², to afford the corresponding intermediate of the general formula IN-1A-1. Typically, for compounds where Hal is a chlorine atom and Hal² is a bromine atom, the reaction proceeds under conditions similar to those described in Scheme 1. Various dihalo derivatives of formulas IN-2B-1 and IN-2B-2 may be prepared using procedures known in or adapted from the chemical literature or as described herein.

Such procedures are described in reference books such as, for example, Compendium of Organic Synthetic Methods, Vols. I-VI (Wiley-Interscience).

One of skill in the art will appreciate that in some cases protecting groups may be required during a multi-step or single-step reaction sequence. In practice, a protecting group is used to mask or block a particular site/functional group in preparation for a chemical transformation at a different site/functional group in a molecule. After a particular target or transformation is complete or at some specific step later in a synthetic route, the protecting group can be removed using methods well know to those of ordinary skill in the art. The introduction, use and removal of protecting groups is thoroughly described in Protective Groups in Organic Synthesis, (3^(rd) Ed., John Wiley & Sons, 1999).

Compositions

The compounds of the general Formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds may be administered as crystalline or amorphous materials, and may be administered alone or in combination with one or more of the other compounds described herein. In addition, compounds of the general Formula I and the pharmaceutically acceptable salts of such compounds may be administered in combination with one or more other therapeutically active agents. Generally, the compound(s) will be administered as a formulation, i.e. pharmaceutical composition, in association with one or more pharmaceutically acceptable excipients. The term “excipient” as used herein refers to any ingredient in the formulation other than the compound(s) of the general Formula I and any additional therapeutically active agent(s) as described above that may be present. Accordingly, excipient refers to and includes ingredients such as, for example: carriers, vehicles, solvents, adjuvants, lubricants, surfactants, binders, buffers, diluents, flavorings, coloring agents/dyes, disintegrants, emulsifying agents, suspending agents, plasticizers, solubilizers, fillers, bulking agents, and the like. The choice of excipient(s) will largely depend on factors such as: the particular mode of administration, the effect of the excipient(s) on solubility, stability, and release profile, and the nature of the dosage form. One skilled in the art will readily appreciate that this list of factors is not exhaustive. The compound(s) of the general Formula I and any additional therapeutically active agents (if present) may be generally referred to as the active ingredient(s) in a formulation or pharmaceutical composition.

Pharmaceutical compositions suitable for the delivery of compounds of the general Formula I and methods for their preparation will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art. Such compositions and methods for their preparation may be found, for example, in Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 19th Edition (Mack Publishing Company, 1995).

The pharmaceutical composition may, for example, be in a form suitable for oral administration as a tablet, capsule (hard or soft filled), pill, powder, sustained or immediate release formulations, solution, suspension; for parenteral injection as a sterile solution, suspension or emulsion; or for topical administration as an ointment or cream. Additional dosage forms not specifically mentioned herein would be readily appreciated by one of ordinary skill in the art as being within the scope of the present application.

The relative amounts of the active ingredient(s) and the excipient(s) in a formulation or pharmaceutical composition will vary, depending upon the identity, size, and condition of the subject treated and further depending upon the route by which the composition is to be administered. By way of example, the composition may comprise between 0.1% and 100% (w/w) of active ingredient.

A pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more compounds of the general Formula I may be prepared, packaged, distributed, or sold in bulk, as a single unit dose, or as a plurality of single unit doses. As used herein, a “unit dose” is a discrete amount of a pharmaceutical composition comprising a predetermined amount of the active ingredient(s). The amount of the active ingredient(s) is generally equal to the dosage of the active ingredient(s) which would be administered to a subject or a convenient fraction of such a dosage such as, for example, one-half or one-third of such a dosage.

Dosing

Dosage regimens may be adjusted to provide the optimum desired response. For example, a single bolus may be administered, several divided doses may be administered over time or the dose may be proportionally reduced or increased as indicated by the exigencies of the therapeutic situation. It is especially advantageous to formulate pharmaceutical compositions in a unit dosage form for ease of administration and uniformity of treatment/therapeutic effect. As used herein, “unit dosage form” or “unit dose”, by themselves or in combination with another term or terms, refer to the physically discreet amount(s) of medication, i.e. the active ingredient(s) in a pharmaceutical formulation, suitable for a one-time administration to the patient or subject to be treated; each unit dose containing a predetermined quantity of active compound(s) calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect in association with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The more specific composition of the unit dosage forms comprising compounds of the general Formula I is dictated by and directly dependent on a number of variables, such as, for example: (a) the unique characteristics of the chemotherapeutic agent and the particular therapeutic or prophylactic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent in the art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment of sensitivity in individuals.

Thus, the skilled artisan would appreciate, based upon the disclosure provided herein, that the dose and dosing regimen is adjusted in accordance with methods well-known in the therapeutic arts. That is, the maximum tolerable dose can be readily established, and the effective amount providing a detectable therapeutic benefit to a patient may also be determined, as can the temporal requirements for administering each agent to provide a detectable therapeutic benefit to the patient. Accordingly, while certain dose and administration regimens are exemplified herein, these examples in no way limit the dose and administration regimen that may be provided to a patient in practicing the present invention.

It is to be noted that dosages and dosing regimens may vary with the type and severity of the condition to be alleviated, and may include the administration of single or multiple doses, i.e. QD (once daily), BID (twice daily), etc., over a particular period of time (days or hours). It is to be further understood that for any particular subject or patient, specific dosage regimens may need to be adjusted over time according to the individual need and the professional judgment of the person administering or supervising the administration of the pharmaceutical compositions. For example, doses may be adjusted based on pharmacokinetic or pharmacodynamic parameters, which may include clinical effects such as toxic effects and/or laboratory values. Thus, the present application encompasses intra-patient dose-escalation as determined by the skilled artisan. Procedures and processes for determining the appropriate dosage(s) and dosing regimen(s) are well-known in the relevant art and would readily be ascertained by the skilled artisan. As such, one of ordinary skill would readily appreciate and recognize that the dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the pharmaceutical compositions described herein.

Indications

Various compounds of the general Formula I are useful in inhibiting the activity of one or more tyrosine kinases or in inhibiting the downstream events resulting from or mediated by the activation of one or more tryosine kinases. By inhibiting the activity of more than one tyrosine kinase, various compounds of Formula I can potentially suppress multiple mechanisms underlying disease states such as tumor formation and progression.

In one embodiment, various compounds of the general Formula I are useful in inhibiting or suppressing uncontrolled cell proliferation, anti-apoptotic signalling, tumor immune evasion, metastasis, angiogenesis, tumorigenesis, and/or tumor growth in mammalian (including human) cancers. Examples of such cancers include: solid tumors, hematopoietic cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, lung carcinomas, ovarian cancer, thyroid cancer, gliomas, leukemias and lymphomas.

Focal Adhesion Kinase (FAK)

Compared to normal quiescent cells, FAK over expression and activation is a hallmark of multiple solid tumors, particularly those with a propensity for bone metastasis, specifically breast, ovarian, thyroid, prostate, and HNSCC carcinomas (Zhao et al., 2009). Moreover, FAK over expression and activation are associated with an enhanced invasive and metastatic phenotype and tumor angiogenesis in these malignancies (Owens et al, 1995, 1996; Tremblay et al, 1996; Kornberg et al, 1998; Mc Clean et al 2005; Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007) and correlated with poor prognosis and shorter metastasis-free survival. Elevated FAK levels in tumors are often caused by amplification of the FAK locus i.e. in breast carcinomas (Pylayeva et al., 2009). Increased FAK gene dosage occurs during transition from noninvasive to invasive carcinoma in a colon cancer model (Agochiya et al., 1999). FAK activation also protected tumor cells from chemotherapy-induced apoptosis, contributing further to tumor survival and resistance (Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007; Halder et al, 2007). FAK activation can also promote tumor cell survival in a kinase-independent manner via its interaction with p53 which suppresses transcriptional activation of multiple p53 target genes (p21, Bax) and also promotes proteasome-mediated degradation of p53 (Lim et al., 2008; Cance et al., 2008).

Multiple proof-of-concept studies conducted in various solid tumors using si-RNA (Halder et al, 2006), dominant-negative FAK (Kohno et al, 2002), and small molecule FAK inhibitors (Halder et al, 2007; Roberts et al, 2008) have provided pre-clinical support for the therapeutic utility of FAK inhibition as an anti-tumor/anti-angiogenic strategy specifically for androgen-independent prostate cancers, breast cancers, and HNSCCs. The utility of FAK inhibition may be particularly useful in the management of breast and androgen-independent prostate cancers that have a high propensity for bone metastatic spread. In preclinical models of human breast cancer (MDA-MB-231) in nude rats, administration of a small molecule FAK inhibitor (PF-562,271) inhibited primary tumor growth and intra-tibial tumor spread, and restored tumor-induced bone loss (Bagi et al, 2008). Roberts et al (2008) showed that PF-562,271 inhibited bone metastases, prevented bone resorption, and increased osteogenesis in breast and androgen-independent prostate cancer patients with and without bone metastases, supporting an additional benefit of FAK inhibition in these specific malignancies.

JAK2

Most tumors, in particular solid ones, are characterized by constitutive JAK2 activation. There is a large body of preclinical evidence demonstrating tumor-promoting activities of JAK2 signaling, such as antitumor activity of JAK2 inhibitors in animal models. JAK2 contributes to tumor growth and progression through multiple mechanisms including increased tumor cell proliferation and survival, increased tumor angiogenesis and immune evasion. Not surprisingly, JAK2/STAT activation correlates with more malignant and metastatic phenotype, and is often associated with a refractory and relapsing disease. In contrast, JAK3 activation is not well documented in human tumors, and does not seem to play a critical role in tumorigenesis (except in some hematopoietic tumors). Various studies suggest that JAK3 inhibition offers no obvious additional benefits for antitumor activity of JAK2 inhibitors (Pesu, 2008). Thus, preferential or selective inhibition of JAK2 is a more critical target for antitumor therapies.

JAK3

JAK3 expression is generally limited to hematopoietic cells where it specifically associates with so called common gamma chain (c receptor, a subunit of receptors for IL-2, IL-4, IL-7, IL-15, IL-21 and others. These receptors are critical for proper functioning of immune system and genetic ablation of JAK3 (or gamma receptor) in mice resulted in a severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). SCID mice have small thymuses, absence of lymph nodes and reduced numbers of thymocytes, CD8+ and NK cells; also, development of B cells is severely impaired. Importantly, mutations in JAK3 and gamma chain in human result in a very similar phenotype and account for most clinical cases of SCID. Thus, inhibition of JAK3 can result in a suppression of immune responses and severe immunodeficiency (Bone, 2003 and O'Shea, 2004). Consequently, JAK3 inhibitors have been developed as a novel class of immunosuppressant to treat transplant rejection and autoimmune diseases. The most advanced inhibitor, CP-690,550, prevented graft rejection in multiple animal models, including in cynomolgus monkey and its activity was associated with decrease in CD8 and NK cells. In Phase I and Phase II clinical studies, CYP-690,550 showed clinical efficacy in de novo kidney allograft recipients; however, increased incidence of infections was also observed. By 6 months post-transplant, significantly more patients developed infections and cytomegalovirus disease in a treated group. Additionally, 20% of subjects receiving CP-690,550 at 30 mg BID developed polyoma-associated nephropathy. These observations indicate that JAK3 inhibition results in immunodeficiency, which in cancer patients, can accelerate disease progression and complicate treatments due to additional toxicities. In particular, cancer patients undergoing multiple rounds of various and toxic therapies are often immunocompromised and additional toxicities in this area are highly undesirable.

In view of the above, compounds that preferentially inhibit JAK2 over JAK3 should exhibit antitumor activity while avoiding immunosuppressive effects associated with JAK3 inhibition. The potential immunosuppressant toxicities related to non-preferential JAK2 inhibitors, i.e., dual JAK2/JAK3 inhibitors, might be dose limiting and could decrease the therapeutic window.

JAK2/STAT

The JAK/STAT pathway is the major signaling cascade downstream from cytokine and growth factor receptors including growth hormone, prolactin and leptin (Rane et al. 2002; Levy et al. 2002; Baker et al. 2007). The signaling cascade consists of the family of non-receptor tyrosine kinases, Janus kinases (JAK) and transcription factors, STATs (signal transduction and transcription). Activated JAKs phosphorylate and activate STATs, allowing formation of homo- and heterodimers that translocate to the nucleus to regulate the transcription of STAT-dependent genes. In addition, STATs can be directly phosphorylated by non-receptor tyrosine kinases like Src or Abl. Under normal physiological conditions ligand-dependent activation of JAK/STAT signaling is transient and tightly regulated (Alexander 2002; Shuai et al. 2003).

JAK/STAT Signaling in Tumors

Constitutive activation of JAKs and STATs occurs in a wide spectrum of human cancers, both solid and hematopoietic, and is often correlated with a more malignant and metastatic phenotype and refractory tumors (Ferrajoli et al. 2006; Yu et al. 2004). In most tumors JAK2/STAT activation is mediated by constitutive expression of cytokines (IL-6, IL-4, GM-CSF) and/or by inactivation of endogenous repressors of the JAK/STAT pathway, including members of the suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) family or phosphatase SHP-1. In some tumors, activating mutations in JAK1 (Flex et al. 2008), JAK2, JAK3 or JAK2 chimeric molecules are directly implicated in tumorigenesis. In addition, amplification of the JAK2 locus occurred in 35% of Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and 50% of primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma (PMBL) cases (Melzner et al. 2005). Among hematological cancers, ABC-DLBCL accounts for the majority of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) mortality with these tumors expressing high levels of activated STAT3 and showing resistance to conventional cytotoxic therapies. ABC-DLBCL cells are dependent on JAK2/STAT signaling and the inactivation of STAT3 by siRNA or small molecule JAK2 inhibition suppressed proliferation and induced apoptosis in these tumor cell lines (Ding et al. 2008).

The ectopic expression of JAK1, JAK2 and JAK3, as well as STAT3 and STAT5 results in oncogenic transformation in recipient cells, demonstrating that the activated JAK2/STAT pathway was sufficient to mediate oncogenesis in various solid and hematological tumors (Bromberg et al. 1999; Knoops et al. 2008; Scheeren et al. 2008). Inhibition of JAK2/STAT signaling in various tumor cells, including prostate, breast, colon, lung carcinomas, gliomas, and leukemias and lymphomas resulted in inhibition of growth, induction of apoptosis and suppression of tumor growth in vivo (Yu et al. 2004; Li et al. 2004; Iwamaru et al. 2007; Gao et al. 2007; Ding et al. 2008). Constitutively activated JAK2/STAT signaling in tumor cells not only promoted uncontrolled cell proliferation and anti-apoptotic signaling, but also mediated tumor immune evasion and angiogenesis (Kortylewski et al. 2005; Nefedova et al. 2007). Therefore, inhibitors of JAK/STAT signaling offer the potential to suppress multiple mechanisms underlying tumor formation and progression.

Molecular Mechanisms: JAK/STAT-Mediated Tumor Cell Survival

Activation of the JAK2/STAT pathway mediates increased survival of tumor cells by up regulating expression of multiple antiapoptotic proteins, including Bcl-2, Bcl-X_(L), Mcl-1, survivin and others (Yu et al. 2004). Increased anti-apoptotic signaling protects tumor cells from therapy-induced cell death, a major factor contributing to drug resistance. In many tumor models inhibitors of JAK2/STAT signaling suppressed expression of anti-apoptotic proteins, decreased the apoptotic threshold and induced chemo-sensitization. Administration of non-selective JAK inhibitors like AG490 chemosensitized various tumor cell lines to multiple targeting drugs including cisplatin, fludarabine, adriamycin and doxorubicin (Alas et al. 2003). Constitutive JAK2 activation is often triggered by cytokines expressed in para- or auto-crine fashion. Elevated tumor and circulating cytokine levels are frequently detected in cancer patients and are associated with increased metastasis, drug resistance and disease relapse. High levels of IL-6 were found in 50% of patients with breast, pancreatic and lung carcinomas, HNSCC and various lymphomas (Grivennikov et al. 2008).

Acquired drug resistance can be mediated by a cytokine-driven adaptive activation of the JAK2/STAT pathway and could be overcome by the administration of JAK2 inhibitors (Wang et al. 2008), providing additional support for the role of activated JAK2/STAT signaling in cell survival and drug resistance in a variety of tumors.

Molecular Mechanisms: JAK/STAT-Mediated Tumor Immune Evasion

Constitutive activation of the JAK2/STAT pathway in tumor cells suppresses tumor immunosurveillance and dendritic cell (DC) maturation and promotes proliferation of T regulatory cells. Abnormal differentiation and accumulation of DCs in the tumor environment is the major contributor to immune evasion and is mediated by tumor-derived cytokines whose expression is driven by constitutive JAK2/STAT signaling (Nefedova et al. 2007). Pharmacological inhibition of JAK2 by JCI-124 overcame DC maturation block and promoted anti-tumor immune responses in cell culture and animal models (Nefedova et al. 2005). In this context, JAK2 inhibitors could be used against multiple tumors as immunostimulants in a maintenance phase of therapy. Immunosuppression mediated by IL-6-driven JAK2/STAT signaling in DCs could be reversed by inhibition of JAK2 activation (Bharaduwaj et al. 2007).

Constitutive Activation of JAK2/STAT Signaling: Inactivation of Endogenous Repressors:

Activation of the JAK/STAT pathway in normal cells is transient and is negatively regulated by endogenous suppressors, members of the SOCS family and phosphatases, which can directly inhibit activity of JAKs. In addition, SOCS proteins facilitate proteosomal degradation of activated JAKs. In tumors, SOCS proteins and/or phosphatase SHP-1 are frequently inactivated by promoter methylation or specific deletions (Yoshikava et al. 2001; Weber at al. 2005; Melzner et al. 2006; Weniger et al. 2006).

Clinical Implications:

The widespread inactivation of endogenous suppressors of JAK2/STAT signaling indicates a genetically-driven selective pressure suggesting that constitutive activation of the JAK2/STAT pathway is critical for growth/survival advantage of tumor cells. A frequent inactivation of endogenous repressors of the JAK2/STAT pathway combined with high levels of cytokines present in multiple tumors provides a molecular rationale for the constitutive activation of JAK2/STAT signaling observed in numerous human tumors. Thus, tumors with constitutive JAK2 signaling can readily identified via their JAK2 mutational status, STAT activation (pSTAT levels) or promoter methylation profiles using conventional diagnostic techniques and would be predicted to be sensitive to JAK2 inhibitors.

Potential Advantages of Dual FAK-JAK2 Inhibitors:

Given the considerations above, simultaneous inhibition of FAK and JAK2 signaling represents an attractive therapeutic strategy for cancer treatment and management of a variety of solid tumors (Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007). FAK and JAK2 are constitutively activated in a wide spectrum of human tumors and their activation correlates with a relapsed, refractory and more metastatic disease. However, both kinases promote tumorigenesis through different mechanisms. FAK contributes to tumorigenesis mostly by promoting tumor cells motility, invasiveness and metastasis, and also by promoting tumor-associated angiogenesis. In contrast, JAK2/STAT signaling plays a critical role in tumor cell proliferation and anti-apoptotic signaling. The latter has been shown to mediate chemoresistance to multiple therapies. In addition, JAK/STAT signaling mediates tumor immune evasion. Thus, a dual FAK/JAK2 inhibitor can potentially suppress all major mechanisms underlying tumor growth and progression resulting in a superior antitumor efficacy.

At a molecular level, FAK signaling often operates “in parallel” to other oncogenic pathways. Although FAK activation has been shown to initiate multiple signaling cascades, including MAPK and AKT pathways, the critical pathway mediating FAK-dependent cell invasiveness and metastasis involves p130CAS/Crk/Rack pathway and the Rho family of small GTPases (Mitra et al., 2005; Zhao et al., 2009). Thus, inhibition of FAK should complement suppression of JAK/STAT and AKT pathways mediated by JAK2 inhibitors, providing a molecular framework for synergistic antitumor activity. It is important to note that in genetic mouse models of breast cancer, the loss of FAK did not affect the ability of normal cell types such as fibroblasts, keratinocytes and mammary epithelial cells to proliferate, but exerted striking inhibitory effects on mammary tumor cells carrying oncogenic mutations in Ras or PI3K (Pylayeva et al., 2009). These data suggest that these and other tumor cells exhibiting activation of both FAK and JAK/STAT signaling pathways are dependent upon these dual signaling pathways relative to normal cells. Simultaneous inhibition of both FAK and JAK2 could thus provide a “double strike” against pathways critical for tumor cell survival and malignant progression.

In addition, a dual FAK/JAK2 inhibitor should be very well suited for combinatorial therapies with conventional cytotoxic agents. Constitutive JAK2/STAT signaling contributes to chemoresistance by driving expression of antiapoptotic proteins, specifically Bcl2-family members, survivin and IAP proteins. Multiple studies demonstrate that ablation of FAK signaling (by SiRNA or dominant negative approaches) potentiated the antitumor efficacy of various agents including doxorubicin, docetaxel and gemcitabine in pre-clinical tumor animal models (Chatzizacharias et al., 2007). Pharmacological inhibition of FAK by TAE226 in combination with docetaxel achieved a strong synergistic efficacy and tumor regression in an ovarian carcinoma model (Halder et al., 2007).

A dual FAK/JAK2 inhibitor offers the potential for improved therapeutic and/or clinical efficacy in those specific cancers dependent upon activated FAK and JAK2/STAT signaling pathways (e.g. hormone-independent prostate cancers, breast cancers, colon carcinomas and HNSSCs).

Exemplary Therapeutic Applications

Several types of solid tumors are potential therapeutic and/or clinical targets for dual FAK/JAK2 inhibitors, although additional tumor types might also be of interest (Mahajan et al. 2005; Constantinescu et al. 2007; Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007). Three selected examples of solid tumors are highlighted below.

Androgen Independent Prostate Carcinoma

JAK2/STAT5 is a major signaling pathway downstream from the prolactin receptor. Prolactin is a mitogen and survival factor for prostate cells and its expression is associated with high grade carcinomas and contributed to androgen-independent tumorigenesis (Dagvadorj et al. 2008). JAK2 inhibition suppressed prolactin-mediated signaling (Li et al. 2004). Activated STAT5 was found in 50-60% of prostate tumor specimen and in 95% of recurrent, androgen-independent prostate carcinomas. STAT5 phosphorylation correlated with high grade tumors and was predictive of an early disease reoccurrence (Li et al. 2004; Tan et al. 2008). Pre-clinically, inactivation of JAK2 or STAT5 in prostate tumor cell lines was sufficient to inhibit cell growth and induce apoptosis. It has also been demonstrated that STAT5 and the androgen receptor form stable complexes; this interaction resulted in a functional synergy and increased activity of both transcription factors, providing another molecular mechanism for androgen-independent cell proliferation linked to JAK2/STAT5 signaling (Tan et al. 2008). It is well documented that constitutive FAK activation and overexpression are frequently associated with aggressive and metastatic prostate carcinomas and that FAK controls the invasive phenotype of androgen-independent prostate cancer cells. Given the biologic and mechanistic bases for the role of both FAK and JAK2, in the invasive and metastatic phenotype of androgen-independent prostate cancer, (and in particular, the role of FAK in osteolytic metastases in this malignancy, there is a compelling rationale for the utility of a FAK/JAK2 inhibitor to address this growing unmet medical need. At present, no acceptable treatment exists for hormone-refractory prostate cancer.

EGFR-Dependent Breast Carcinomas

Constitutive EGFR signaling in breast carcinomas up regulates expression of IL-6, activating the JAK2/STAT pathway (Grivennikov et al 2008) and inducing expression of anti-apoptotic proteins. JAK2 inhibition suppressed the growth and induced apoptosis of breast tumor cell lines carrying mutated EGFR (Berishaj et al. 2007; Gao et al. 2007). Fifty percent of patients with breast carcinoma evaluated had high levels of tumor IL-6 expression and activation of STAT3 (Grivennikov et al. 2008) suggesting that these tumors would be responsive to JAK2 inhibitors. Elevated expression of IL-6 and pSTAT3 in primary tumors correlated with a poor prognosis and resistance to therapies. The role of FAK in breast tumors has been well established. The FAK gene locus is amplified in more than 50% of human breast tumors and the increased copy number correlated with significantly increased FAK expression (Pylayeva et al., 2009). High levels of FAK expression strongly correlated with metastatic breast tumors and shorter metastasis-free survival. In addition, the multivariate analysis demonstrated that elevated FAK is an independent predictor of poor outcome and it outperforms many clinically used parameters such as lymph node involvement, ER negativity or poor differentiation. These data indicate that FAK overexpression contributes to tumorigenesis of breast carcinoma. In mouse genetic models of breast cancer, Ras- and PI3K-dependent tumorigenesis required FAK signaling for initiation, maintenance and metastasis of tumors (Pylayeva et al., 2009; Lahlou et al., 2007).

Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinomas (HNSCC)

The widespread inactivation (>90% incidence) of the SOCS3 suppressor of JAK2/STAT signaling is indicative of activated JAK2/STAT signaling in a high percentage of human HNSCC. The role and functions of FAK in HNSCC has been studied extensively (Kornberg 1998; Mitra et al, 2005; McClean et al 2005; and Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007) Immunohistochemical analyses of more than 200 human HNSCC clinical specimens revealed FAK over expression in the majority of primary HNSCC samples, including benign hyperplastic, pre-invasive dysplastic lesions and 100% of lymph node metastases. Pre-clinically, the deletion of FAK prior to carcinogen-induction induction of skin tumors inhibited benign papilloma formation, and the conditional ablation of FAK after benign tumors had formed inhibited their malignant progression to metastatic HNSCC (Mc Clean et al 2005; Kyu-Ho Han and McGonigal, 2007) supporting a direct association of FAK activation with the malignant progression of HNSCC.

Enzyme Assays for JAK Kinases:

Compounds were tested for their ability to inhibit the kinase activity of baculovirus-expressed human JAK kinases (JAK1, JAK2, JAK3 or TYK2) using the time-resolved fluorescence (TRF) detection system. The JAK1, JAK2, and JAK3 assays were run in 96-well Costar high binding plates (Cat#3922) while the TYK2 assays were performed in 96-well PerkinElmer yellow high binding plates (Cat# AAAND-0001). Both plate types were coated with 100 μL/well of 10 μg/mL Neutravidin (Pierce #31000) in TBS at 37° C. for 2 h, followed by 100 μL/well of 1 μg/mL 15-mer peptide substrate (biotinyl-amino-hexanoyl-EQEDEPEGDYFEWLE-amide, Infinity Biotech Research and Resource) at 37° C. for 1 h. The kinase assay mixture (total volume=100 μL/well) consisting of 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.2), ATP (K_(m) level for each kinase), 1 mM MnCl₂, 0.1% BSA, and test compound (diluted in DMSO; 2.5% DMSO final in assay) was added to the assay plate. The concentrations of ATP used were as follows: 0.2 μM for JAK1, JAK2 and TYK2; 0.1 μM for JAK3. Enzyme (15 ng/mL JAK2_(C318) Lot#JA2-2.1; 100 ng/mL JAK1_(C300) Lot# JA1-4.1; 20 ng/mL JAK3_(C341) Lot# JK3-2.1; or 50 ng/mL TYK2_(C311) Lot# TY2-4.1) was added and the reaction was allowed to proceed at room temperature for 20 min. Detection of the phosphorylated product was performed by adding 100 μL/well of Eu—N1 labeled PY100 antibody diluted 1:5000 or 1:10000 in 0.25% BSA in TBS-T (PerkinElmer #AD0041). Samples were incubated at room temperature for 1 h, followed by addition of 100 μL enhancement solution (PerkinElmer #1244-105). Plates were agitated for 10 min and the fluorescence of the resulting solution measured using the PerkinElmer EnVision® 2102 or 2104 multi-label plate reader. Inhibition data were analyzed using ActivityBase and IC₅₀ curves generated using XLFit.

Enzyme Assays for FAK and PYK2:

The ability of compounds to inhibit the kinase activity of baculovirus-expressed human FAK and PYK2 was measured using the 96-well plate TRF assay system described above for JAK2. Recombinant human full-length GST-tagged FAK (activated in vitro by His-tagged src) was obtained from Invitrogen (Cat# PV3832 Lot#493284A) while PYK2 (Lot# PKg-1.1) was generated in-house.

Insulin Receptor Counterscreen:

Inhibition of the kinase activity of baculovirus-expressed human βIR_(CD) (Lot# hIRK-2.1) was measured in a TRF assay system using 96-well plates (Greiner #655074). Briefly, each plate was coated with 100 μL/well of 20 mg/mL substrate solution (recombinant GST-PLCγ Lot # P5.1A) in TBS. The IR assay mixture (total volume=100 μL/well) consisting of 20 mM HEPES (pH 7.2), 20 μM ATP, 5 mM MnCl₂, 0.1% BSA, and test compound (diluted in DMSO; 2.5% DMSO final) was added to the assay plates.

Detection of the phosphorylated product was performed by adding 100 μL/well of Eu—N1 labeled PY100 antibody (PerkinElmer#AD0160; 1:10,000 in 0.25% BSA in TBS-T). Incubation at 37° C. for 1 h was followed by addition of 50 μL enhancement solution (PerkinElmer #1244-105). Plates were agitated for 10 min and the fluorescence of the resulting solution was measured using the PerkinElmer EnVision® 2102 or 2104 multi-label plate reader Inhibition data were analyzed using ActivityBase and IC₅₀ curves were generated using XLFit.

Cellular Wild-Type JAK2 Assay:

Banked irf-bla TF-1 cells were quickly thawed and diluted 1:20 into assay media containing modified DMEM/F12 (Gibco Cat#12634), 0.5% FBS (Invitrogen Cat#26400-044), 2 mM glutamine (Gibco Cat#35050), 100 U/mL penicillin, 100 μg/mL streptomycin (Mediatech Cat#30-002-CI). The suspension was spun at 1500 rpm for 3 min and resuspended at 1.25×10⁶ cells/mL. Aliquots (40 μL/well) were transferred into black 384-well clear bottom plates (Corning Cat#3712); 40 μL media substituted for background wells. The assay plate was incubated overnight at 5% CO₂, 37° C. Compound serial dilutions (½-log, ten-point concentrations) in DMSO at 400× final assay concentration were made in 384-well polypropylene plates (NUNC Cat#264573) utilizing the Biomek NX Span-8 liquid handler.

Compound or DMSO (100 nL) was added to assay plates utilizing the pintool attachment of the Biomek FX-384. The assay plate was incubated for 1 h prior to adding 5 μL/well of GM-CSF (Invitrogen Cat#PHC2015) diluted in assay media (1 ng/mL final concentration in assay). The plate was incubated for another 5 h. Development was initiated by addition of 8 μL LiveBLAzer FRET β-lactamase loading solution per well (Invitrogen #K1095), and the plate incubated for 4 h at room temperature. Detection was performed on the PerkinElmer Envision® plate reader [bottom read, general dual mirror, excitation filter 405 nm (8 nm bandwidth) emission filters 535 nm (25 nm bandwidth) and 460 nm (25 nm bandwidth)]. Controls included on each assay plate were as follows: no cell background (n=16); positive control/DMSO only (n=24) and negative control/CEP-0100501 at 2 μM (n=24). The average emission of no cell control wells was subtracted from the emission of each cell-containing well for both the 460 nm and the 530 nm measurements. The 460/530 ratios of the background-subtracted wells were determined and the percent inhibition calculated using the 460/530 ratio Inhibition data were analyzed by nonlinear regression using the sigmoidal dose-response (variable slope) equation in XLFit (ActivityBase) to determine IC₅₀ values. The values for bottom and top were fixed at 0 and 100, respectively. For each compound, the mean IC₅₀ value was reported as the average of at least 3 independent determinations.

Banked irf-bla HEL cells were quickly thawed and diluted 1:20 into assay media containing Advanced-RPMI 1640 media, 2 mM glutamine, 100 U/mL penicillin and 100 μg/mL streptomycin. The suspension was spun at 1500 rpm for 3 min. and resuspended in assay media at 7.5×10⁵ cells/mL. Cells were dispensed into assay plates, incubated and inhibitor added as described for the wild-type assay. After inhibitor addition, the assay plates were incubated for 6 h before the addition of the β-lactamase loading solution. FRET measurement was done using the PerkinElmer Envision® plate reader. Data analysis was performed as described for wild-type JAK2.

Cellular pFAK and FAK Assays:

Selected human tumor cell lines were plated in a full medium 14-16 h before a treatment with inhibitors. Cells (50-60% confluent) were rinsed with PBS and incubated for 2 h in a serum-free medium containing inhibitor at indicated concentrations. Cells were lysed in a Triton-based lysis buffer supplemented with proteases and phosphatases inhibitors (for western blot) or in an ELISA lysis buffer (BioSource). For western blots, 30-40 μg extract per lane was separated by PAGE and specific antibodies were used to evaluate pFAK (BioSource, #44-624G) and FAK (Cell Signaling, #3285) expression. Precoated ELISA kits for pFAK and FAK were purchased from BioSource and analysis was performed according to manufacturer's recommendations. Expression of phoshoFAK was normalized to the total FAK and controls were designated as 100%.

The compounds described herein were tested according to procedures described above. The results of these tests are set forth below in Table 1:
